“No mud, no lotus.”
~ Tich Naht Hahn
No Mud, No Lotus
No mud, no lotus.
No noise, no silence.
No silence, no song.
No bitter, no sweet.
No low, no high.
No old, no young.
No weak, no strong.
No broken, no whole.
No black, no white.
No white, no color.
No missing, no found.
No fall, no rise.
No work, no play.
No death, no birth.
No Adam, no Eve.
(No Eve, no Adam.)
No mud, no lotus.
